Patrick Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 (edited) Edit: This was our 2024 April Fools' Day joke.Hey all,Thank you for visiting KarateForums.com.Martial arts are great and all, but we do our best bonding when we aren't talking about them. As such, I'm happy to introduce a new policy here at KarateForums.com: Casual Fridays.Every Friday, martial arts discussion will be banned from our forums. All of the forums related to the martial arts will be closed, and only the General Chat, Introduce Yourself, and KarateForums.com Announcements forums will be left open. This will be for the Eastern time zone (or UTC/GMT -5). The martial arts-related forums will close promptly at midnight, and reopen on the following midnight.This includes an update to our User Guidelines, which reads as such:17. Casual Fridays are strictly enforced. Each Friday, from 12am to 11:59pm Eastern Time (GMT/UTC -4 or -5, depending on daylight savings time), there is no martial arts discussion allowed, and our martial arts-related forums will be closed. Only off-topic discussion may occur within the remaining open forums.Thank you for your attention!Patrick Edited April 2 by Patrick Patrick O'Keefe - KarateForums.com AdministratorHave a suggestion or a bit of feedback relating to KarateForums.com?

Zaine Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Okay but I'm wearing jeans and a t-shirt while browsing on Fridays, instead of my normal suit and tie. Martial arts training is 30% classroom training, 70% solo training.https://www.instagram.com/nordic_karate/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sensei8 Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 YIKES!! Well, in that case, I'll go with sweatpants, a hoodie, sunglasses, and flip-flops. Then I'll start a discussion on Fridays all about cooking on the KF General Chat Forum and talk about nothing but cooking...on Friday's. **Proof is on the floor!!!

ryanryu Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 I like it!I assume you timed this policy to coincide with Beyonce's new album release? “Studying karate nowadays is like walking in the dark without a lantern.” Chojun Miyagi (attributed)https://www.lanterndojo.com/https://karatenobody.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
